In one of our articles, we told the tale of a massacre caused by counterfeit alcohol in India, with more than 150 deaths. In the very popular tourist destination of the Dominican Republic, a series of tragic deaths among American tourists has raised the alarm at the FBI.

A corked wine detector is already in existence; it would certainly be a good idea to have a reliable device to guarantee the integrity of branded alcoholic drinks at our disposal as quickly as possible … and that’s not just a matter of taste!
